COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Famous in Michigan for farmhouse ales, our friends at Brewery Viviant introduced us to their biere de garde ale yeast strain. From there, we imagined a slightly tart, intentionally dry beer with hints of bergamot citrus that pairs perfectly with French cheeses.

Tap @ The BeerMongers... Poured cloudy, pale yellow/orange with a white head. This was very sweet, very worty, malty, herbal, and yeasty. Also notes of honey and citrus. Full bodied yet a little drying towards the finish.

"I’d had a small sample on tap a few weeks back and enjoyed it. Enjoyed the bomber to myself even more. Love the use of orange peel in this zesty, unique brew. 9% doesn’t show, at all. Belgian spices, chamomile and fruit. Solid all around."

Pours a hazy gold color with a good sized off-white head and good lacing. Nose of citrus and some funk. Medium body Flavor is light fruit with some orange zest. Finish is orange citrus. Nice tasting. .

@ Whitey’s Wine and Liquor / Lawrenceburg IN --- Slightly hazy medium amber, white head that drops to a full contoured cover, bands and streaks of lace. Taste opens with malt that doesn’t grow til it moves to the back of the tongue, where it adds sweet citrus and yeast before adding a light hoppiness to bring things back into line. A solid brew that is so easy to drink, one must be aware of the alcohol, which never shows it’s face. Recommended.
